title: Serum protein electrophoresis.
abstract: Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) is a technique that has been used in clinical laboratories for several decades to elucidate and quantitate monoclonal paraproteins. These proteins are indicative of patients with a B-cell dyscrasia, which, if untreated, could lead to the early demise of the patient.
